((Sorry I dissappeared. Im sick today, and last night I went to rest for a bit and fell asleep for the rest of the night lol. And Strawberry, Ava is your leader and they would know eachother^^))

Ava felt herself being lowered from the ropes and the weight that had been on her feet. Pulling her body. Her eyes were closed, but her breathing was still heavy. Ava honestly did not even realize she had been stabbed. Thought she felt pressure being put on her abdomen. She opened her eyes a bit. Just a small slit. Seeing the ceiling of the place. She heard Ha-Neul's voice. "Ava Locke." She spoke a bit clearer this time. Completely out of it still.

The demon looked to Kiona, laughting before lunging out at her with the dagger in his hand. Though he dissappered from the front and came to her backside. Jumping on her back. "Stay out of my way you filthy human!"

Shane looked up to Kiske from Ava's other side. "Thats a demon!" He said to the group. Though it was pretty obvious to everyone already.

Kiona laughed, a hunger and sound that should not have been hers to utter. As her arms reached behind her to grab the demon, the bandage that covered the small cut came loose and feel off. She had noticed earlier that day that it hadn't stopped bleeding when something that small should have. Now, however, instead of blood, darkness seemed to glow out of the wound. When the hand grabbed the demon, her grip was stronger than her slight form should have achieved and the darkness seemed to wrap around the demon, seeming to ingest it.
She held on to him as she jumped and fell backwards, landing all her force on top of the demon, not caring if the knife went into her or not. She was released just long enough to bounce back up, in a crouch, and turned to look at the demon, hissing at him. Her teeth looked sharp.

(...I think that was probably stupid thing to write but...i don't know. if you want me to change it, I have no problems with that >.<)

The demon when grabbed had dropped the knife. Feeling the power coming from the human. He started to squirm like a mad man in her grip. Even scratching her hand in order to fight back. Finally he kicked her, though she only landed on top of him. Crushing his neck completely. It did not kill him, but it did stop his breathing. The demon hissed back at her as darkness grew around his small form. Completely taking over his body and pulling him into the ground.

Shane looked at her. Chuckling a bit. "That's a pretty bad ass kitty. I'm gonna call it fluffy." He commented, looking at Ava's wound. "Not on this side, but she is laying on her back. That is where it entered, right?" Shane said, bringing his hand underneath and checking. When he pulled his hand back out, it was covered in blood. Thinking quickly, he pulled his beloved sweatshirt off and put it underneath her body. He glanced over to Kiona, seeing the kitty disappear. "Sooo, Kiona scared fluffy off?"

"Your an idiot Shane." Ava murmured. Hearing his last comment.

((Works for me. Have I said how much I love Shane!))

(I LOVE SHANE TOOO!!! That's just freaking hilarous!)

Darrien took a step closer to Kiona. "Kiona?" He said quietly. He reached a hand out to touch her shoulder. For some reason, the closer it got to her, it started to glow and get brighter.
She was crouched there, head down, hair covering her face. She was breathing somewhat normal but darkness still surrounded her arm and the tatttoos were still in place. When he tried to touch her, she lifted her face and hissed at him this time, flying backwards out of reach and farther into shadows. Her arms were still adorned with tattoos, her canine teeth and those next to them like small daggers, and her eyes full of the darkness that she had started to creep into a long time ago. Her voice wasn't hers when she spoke, it was too high and seemed to be surround sound. "Don't touch me, you, you cretin!"
Darrien retracted his hand and he was looking at it with awe and fear. "What the hell?" He looked at Kiona and backed up a little. "I...I'm sorry. I don't, I don't know what's going on." He looked at the others. Looked at Ava. He went towards them. "We have to get out of here. Kiske, Shane, Ha-Neul, keep a tight bandage on Ava and let's try to lift her out of here. Shane...I need you to take care of Kiona. Make sure she gets back to the main building and don't let your guard down around her." He put both hands on the kids shoulders and bent so they were eye to eye. "I'm trusting you with this, Shane." He didn't know what he was doing letting Shane of all people do it but his instincts were telling him to.

Darrien nodded as he took Shanes place, holding the back from bleeding.. "Thank you. Ava, your going to be okay. We'll get through this." His eyes still glowed a little bit from the inside but they weren't as fierce now, almost seeming to be gentle.

Kiona's eyes watched them, moving to Shane when he turned towards her. She was still in a crouch position and she cocked her head to one side, eyeing the boy.

Ava heard Darrien and opened her eyes to the slit they were before. "I'm really tired." She told him. After working with Rae and Blake, she knew to tell them everything she was feeling. In order to help them with her problem.

Shane looked down at Kiona and stepped forward a few steps till he was right in front of her. He keeled down. Knowing he was getting too close. But hey, if she attacked him, then she attacked him. That was all to it. "Hey Kiona. You know, your pancakes were amazing. I never really said thank you. So Thank you. Btw I have to tell you a funny story." Shane said. Knowing there were three factors right there against him. One, he was too close to her. Two, spelling out text talk probably annoyed her, and three he knew Kiona would not want to listen to his damn story. But hey, worth a try.

Darrien smiled down at her. "That's okay. You can go to sleep soon. But for now, you better stay awake. Tell me, what do you like to do in your spare time?" If he's learned anything, when someone injured says their tired, best to keep them awake.

Kiona listened to him, her eyes watching intensely. Without forewarning, a hand shot out and grabbed him by the collar. She brought him closer until his face was inches from her own. She didn't grip him hard or try to hurt him. Her voice was really soft, barely being heard, and almost normal. "What's the story?"

(Im excited to hear this story >.<)

Ava groaned a bit as she started to really feel the stab wound in her torso. She gritted her teeth a bit as her breathing changed to a hard breath. Though you could tell she was trying to fight against it. "Go to the park and just relax. Reading when I get the chance." She told him.

Shane took a seat on the floor. Sitting criss cross. Resting his hands on his lap. Though he noticed Kiona did not sit down with him. Simply he grabbed her and forced her to sit in front of him. "I remember this one time I was hanging out with a bunch of my friends. Near the train tracks. We had a few illegal things with us and were using them. Well I guess one of the stores called the cops. So, out of anyone we could have gotten, we got Darrien and like four other guys. My best friend, who was completely high out of his mind started to flirt with Darrien. I took a picture with my phone, but the cops took it away." Shane told her, while making probably some over exaggerated hand signals and such. "The best part about it, my best friend had to give Darrien his parent's number. The entire night he was convinced, and I mean convinced that Darrien asked for his number." Although Shane would never admit that the friend was really him.

Darrien nodded. "That sounds like fun. You can keep the answer short if you have to. What about a favorite color, car and animal?" He realized they weren't just random questions. He had to smile at her as he actually really wanted to know. And Darrien chose to ignore what Shane was saying and doing with Kiona. As soon as he heard his name, he didn't want to be reminded.
He looked over at Ha-Neul and Kiske. "We need to go. Lift her on my mark." He looked at his precious Ava. "We're going to lift you and get you back to head quarters. Maybe we'll have a car waiting for us from the higher ups," he joked. "Okay. Three, two, one, lift." His hand was kept firmly in place over her wound so that the bleeding would hopefully have stopped by now.

She was calmer now and a small smile traced her lips. The tattoos were fading down her arms as he had talked. They were faintly there up to her elbows now. Her eyes now had the whites back to them though her iris were still black with just a hint of green in them. The wound on her arm no longer emitted black but was bleeding normally know, red blood. She didn't notice. "Darrien? You mean the guy who's always with Ava? How old were you? What illegal things?" She actually grinned. "Do you still have the picture?" Her voice was normal now, just a hint of the mean left there.

Shane noticed the changing. This is good.. He thought to himself leaning back in his seat. He hoped fluffy would not be back while they were sitting there, but when they arrived it seemed to have damage already done to it. Along with Kiona then beating it senseless. He hoped it would be gone. At least for now. Shane looked to Kiona with a wide smile on his face. Whipping out his phone and clicking down to show the picture. He turned the phone around and showed her. "Here it is." The picture was of Darrien being hugged by a very out of it Shane.

Ava wanted to help them. Stand on her own and head outside with them. She hated being the victim in these situations. Though usually it was never this bad. Being hit with a knife or being shot sometimes was part of the job. Her body showed it all. For now she let them take care of her. Slowly bringing her arms down. She didn't answer his next question mainly because she did not hear him that time. She found herself focusing on certain sounds. Like an ambulance in the far distance. Maybe the one Kiske had called, no the sound slowly disappeared. As they were heading outside there was a car there. Fully white with a gold trim and no driver. Though it was still running with no one around.

Kiona took the phone from him and her eyes went wide. When she looked back up at him, they were hazel once more. She was grinning, tooth normal. "This is hilarous! You were hitting on Darrien, the cop?! That takes some guts." The tattoos were all that remained of what she had turned into, only remaining on her fingers. She sat down on her butt and looked at him. Her voice was quiet. "Shane, what am I?"

Darrien thought about the question Ha-Neul asked as they walked to the white car. His face looked worn. "Honestly, Ha-Neul, I have no idea. Now, lets get her into the car, Kiske, you drive. Get us there as fast as you possibly can." They managed to get her sprawled on the back seat, part of her on top of Darrien as he kept his place holding her wound. "Now, Ava, what's your favorite place to visit?"

"I have no idea.." Shane said to her honestly. He saw the others had left and stood up himself. Offering a hand out for Kiona to take. They both headed outside to see the car was full already. No problem really. "Want to get a late lunch?" Shane asked Kiona. Knowing if they were going to walk, they mine as well eat on the way.

Ava, once she was in the back seat, started to zone out a bit. She felt her body screaming for sleep. It even passed threw her mind, just 5 minutes wouldn't hurt... but no, she refused her body that privilege. Though she noticed everything was becoming quieter. "I like to go camping." Ava murmured.

Kiona looked at him, still trying to block the sun. "Why are you being so nice to me? I...I could've killed you." A few tears started to make her eyes glisten in the light and fall down her cheeks. She stared at her free hand. Then she was aware that she was still holding his. She let go and wiped the tears angrily away. "I don't think that would be a good idea. I think...I think you should stay away from me."

Darrien smiled at her. "Camping, now that's fun. Do you do real, tent camping? Or silly rv camping?" He was really really trying to keep her talking, making sure she stayed awake as they went. He hated to admit it but he was getting scared. He didn't want to lose her. Not now.

Shane saw the tear and carefully wrapped his arms around her. He was a bit shorter than she was so it was a bit awkward, but it got the point across. "Hey, if you were going to kill any of us you would have killed me first. I am pretty annoying." Shane said to her, now letting go just yet.

"with a tent of coarse." Ava answered. Blinking slowly. She could see Darrien clearly. "Darrien.. If I don't make it. I just want to tell you I love you." Ava said to him. Hoping it wouldn't scare him very much.

Kiona buried her face in his hair, since he was just the right height for that, and put her small arms around him. She didn't cry because she had always hated crying and thought it made her look weak but she hugged him tight, face slightly squashed. She mumbled through his hair, "You are pretty annoying but I'll go to lunch with you if you buy." She really didn't want to let go but she knew they would have to get back as soon as they could.

Darrien growled. "You really going to do that to me, Ava? You are not going to die. I won't let you and you know it. We still have a date in..." He looked at his wrist, pretending he could see a clock there. He had glanced at the car clock earlier. "In 2 hours. And now that I know you like camping, we are going to do that, next weekend both of us don't have a job other then being us Angels. Do you hear me, Ava Locke? You leave me and I'll bring you back from the dead and then put you back in the grave again, I swear I'll do it."

Shane closed his eyes a bit. Hugging her tightly, patting the top of her hair to sooth her. Even a little bit was better than nothing. He finally let go, hearing her speak. Backing off a bit. Having a feeling it may be uncomfortable for her. "Alright, I don'y mind buying. To McDonald's!" Shane said taking her wrist again to bring her along. He laughed a bit, having a feeling she was expecting something.. a little better. "Sorry Kiona, I don't have a paying job. But I still have a little money." He told her. Feeling a bit bad.

Ava listened carefully to him. Nodding her head slowly. "alright Darrien... I don't want to hear you complaining about sleeping on the ground." She said with a small smile, feeling the car pull to a halt. Ava hoped they were finally at the hospital. As much as she hated the place, she honestly just wanted some sort of medication to stop all the pain she was going threw.

Kiona smiled, thought faintly. "It's perfect. I haven't been there since I was little anyway." She looked at the hand that held her wrist as he dragged her along. She made her stride go to normal, her long legs quickly making them walk side by side instead. Without thinking, she maneuvered her wrist to where he was holding her hand instead of his grip on her wrist. She went red and released his hand after a few seconds. She really hadn't meant to do that. It was just...he was being so nice to her and she hadn't had that in a long time. And he smells good. I wonder what he washes his hair with. Her blush went brighter when she thought that.

Darrien snorted with a grin. "As long as I have you by my side, I'll have nothing to complain about. Besides, I've slept on floors and ground hundreds of times. I'll be perfectly fine. Though, you better not complain about not having clean hair and other girly things." He looked up as the car stopped in the hospital parking lot. He bend over to where his face was just to the side of Avas. He whispered in her ear, "I love you too, Ava." He quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek just before the door opened.

Shane and Kiona both walked to the nearest McDonalds. Shane held the door for Kiona and told her to get whatever she wanted. Shane just hoped his allowance would cover it. Not that he would say it out loud. He ordered, and just had enough. Even donated a bit into the small donated box they had in front of the register. Once the food came out, Shane brought it over to the table Kiona had chosen. "Here you are. Let me know if they got it wrong. I'll take it back up for you." Shane said with a small smile.

Ava smiled at Darrien. Happy at the thought of going away with him. Though suddenly everything got dark to her, and her eyes shut. Ha-Neul and Kiske had got in to get help, and a stretcher had soon come out. Taking Ava out of the car and inside.
